Making Comics

Making Comics (P365-247)

I think I should wait till I have about 20 or so strips under my belt before I decide to call myself a Webcomic author, but yeah, I am making comics now.  It started a while back when I was relating to Nick that we should have a webcomic for the RetroNick site.  I had some great ideas for some strips that involved us, the hosts, but since I couldn’t draw (and he can, amazingly) we could team up.

Well, the problem with that is that Nick is extremely busy.  Also, drawing takes a lot of time.  So I gave up on the idea until the other day when I thought about just doing them in Photo form.  I had seen Joel Watson of http://hijinksensue.com/ so them on occasion and they looked pretty straight forward.  So I wrote up some quick jokes, talked to the guys and suddenly…BOOM, RnR comics was born.

As of this posting, there are only 2 active.  I have 4 nearly finished, waiting on some info and extra photos, and another 2 in script form.  This process makes me both envious and NON envious of some of the webcomic authors I follow who can actually draw.  I know they put a TON of effort into drawing each strip as well as coming up with new material each week/day/etc.  On the flip side, drawing some of the panels would make the limit of “what can I pull off in the real world” a little easier.  (Example, I probably couldn’t pull off a picture of me and the guys in a theater watching a movie)

So keep an eye over at the RetroNick site and look for the new comics on Tues and Thurs!
